Mr. Burns said he had not received confirmation from the School Board and sought direction from the Board regarding the agenda for this. He said the County has staff that does this and noted a consultant would be up to the Board to choose. Commissioner Springle said this came up as a recommendation from Senator Rabin's Office and Representative Lewis's Office on behalf of their consultant. Commissioner Springle said he thought representatives from Rabin, Stone and Lewis's Office should be invited as well as a representative from Duke Energy. Commissioner Springle reported that CAMPO staff suggested that the County may could benefit from small DOT projects; potentially a few hundreds of thousands of dollars. Commissioner Springle requested that a meeting be scheduled inviting CAMPO, Mid -Carolina, FAMPO, NC DOT Greg Burns, town managers and mayors to discuss potential projects as well as finding out what we can do, what we need to look for and how to approach this. Commissioner Springle mentioned that some communities have "an interest list" on their website. As particular items come up interested parties who have signed up would receive an email notification. He said communities in Wake County have done this and find it very beneficial. Last, Commissioner Springle said we need to start looking at Zero Balance budgeting to see if this is something we can do in the County. He said it would take some time and training. Mr. Burns said this would have to be a priority that the new board would have to set as we move into the budget session. Mr. Burns agreed that this approach would take a lot of training for both Board and staff saying it works in some areas while not as effective in others. Vice Chaiiman House said as long as the Board is in agreement he would like for staff to come up with an educational brochure for the upcoming school bond referendums that could be mailed out in the water bills. Commissioners stressed this should be done in coordination with the Board of Education staff.
